Fairy tales are a cultural legacy that have their origins in virtually every country and every society known to recorded human history. Many of these fabulous tales have existed for centuries in only an oral form and were passed down from one generation of storytellers to another before finally being written down -- beginning around the turn of the 18'th century. The Illustrated Treasury Of Fairy Tales showcases ten of the world's best-loved fairly tales superbly enhanced with museum quality artwork which is as visually entertaining to the eye as the stories are engaging to the mind's imagination. Enhanced with the inclusion of a section devoted to "Historical & Biographical Notes", the fairy tales comprising this simply outstanding compendium include: Beauty & The Beast; Cinderella; Hansel & Gretel; The Three Languages; The Fisherman & His Wife; The Queen Bee; Bushy Bride; The Sleeping Beauty; The Enchanted Pig; and The Fir Tree.
